Summary

Having recently completed a rigorous 4-year double degree in Neuroscience and Psychology, I am seeking full-time, research-based employment as a Research Coordinator or Research Assistant. My late father's journey with Lewy Body Dementia deeply inspired my passion for advancing research in neuroscience, and I am eager to apply my academic knowledge to meaningful, hands-on work.

With a strong foundation in research methodologies, data analysis, and participant management, I am ready to contribute to studies that aim to improve understanding and care in medical and neuroscience fields. I am enthusiastic about opportunities to collaborate on impactful projects, further develop my research expertise, and make meaningful contributions to the field.
